EPI's first national product offering, TARGET/400 is an award winning expert system designed to convert and restructure custom developed IBM S/36 RPG II and OCL applications to native mode applications for use on the AS/400 and IBM i computing platforms. The software provides comprehensive features for defining and implementing the DB2/400 database as well as converting S/36 menus, screen formats and data. TARGET/400 was jointly developed with the IBM Migration Assistant licensed program and is recommended by the IBM National Solution Center. It has repeatedly been IBM's tool of choice when providing conversion services to its S/36 customer base both in the U.S. and abroad.
With TARGET/400 firmly established as a market leader EPI went on to develop the Database Assistant, a field level database relations tool for the IBM i. This programmer productivity software is designed to dramatically speed up the maintenance cycle by allowing users to easily visualize the impact of changing any field/s in the DB2/400 database on user applications. The Database Assistant additionally provides functions to effectively manage and significantly accelerate file and program changes.
Programmer productivity and database change management software
The tool reduces RPG database maintenance projects by up to 80%. It does this by automatically pinpointing and globally applying qualified field changes to DDS source members and data files. The field changes are then automatically applied to any impacted RPG source programs and display and printer files. It's great for field expansion projects or adding new fields to the database.
It's a perpetual license you get to use the software for as long as you like on the designated system.
No extended product maintenance and support is optional but we advise it so you can continue to get product support and free upgrades and bug fixes when they come out.
No. To help with costs we offer license transfers at a 80% discount on the license fee so you can affordably port our software to a new machine and continue to use it. Upgrading to new hardware is expensive enough.
The no obligation Database Assistant trial download gives you 30 days to use the software inhouse for free so you can check it out before ordering.
We have been developing and providing expert software solutions to customers since 1989.
